Poll: About 2/3 of Texas Republicans will ‘wait & see’ before supporting Perry for re-election

About two-thirds of Texas Republicans are keeping their options open if Gov. Rick Perry runs for re-election, according to a new Texas Lyceun poll.

It found 29 percent of Republicans would vote for Perry if he runs for governor again in 2014, and 6.5 percent said they’d vote against him. A total of 65 percent said they would wait and see whom he was running against.

Among voters overall, 30 percent said they’d vote against Perry, 18 percent support him and 53 percent said they’d wait and see.

The Sept. 10-26 statewide telephone survey of registered voters resulted in 1,175 completed interviews. The overall margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 2.83 percentage points. Some questions were asked of voter subsets.
